I don't know Dave. This sounds by all accounts that we may been going in a categorically incorrect direction with this. The present methods could cause a catatonic state to be induced upon our test subject. I suggest that we catalog our progress to date, and maybe move our research facility to another and maybe warmer location.

I hear that there is presently an unused research center on a little island off the coast, nearby where I live here in sunny southern California.....Catalina.

I'll make some inquiries regarding this possible move if you'll give me the go-ahead.

Cheers,
Dwight

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
